This has nothing to do with titles being culled or purged. These are titles where for various reasons (changes in publishers, unable to get permission to transfer, rights expirations) B&N couldn't transfer from peoples FW libraries when they closed FW. They did the best they could, or appear to have, to get permission to transfer over as many titles as they could whereas they could have just closed it and said too bad. It has nothing to do with what's being talked about in this thread.
